    Snippet: There is an analogy here with measures of fitness in theoretical ecology. For example, when a population is regulated by density dependence that affects all individuals identically, r may be the best measure of fitness (Pasztor et al., 1996) , but when regulation primarily affects juveniles mortality, R is likely to be superior (Mylius and Diekmann, 1995) . The importance of speed-based perspectives are still rarely recognized in the case of infe.....

The importance of speed-based perspectives are still rarely recognized in the case of infectious disease, however.
